Restive

I posted in the back of the world, just waiting
For my chance to live the dream again
I feared that all the footprints we left were fading
With the rest of the globe's

I'd dwell on all the darkness that lay out before me...
An abyss that we had never known.
We'd landed on Mars but we'd learn how to breathe again
Without the oxygen we used to hold

I got used to how the river flowed
I got stuck in my ways
I got used to how the river flowed
But now the current knows its place

I wallowed in the pain of my own situation
Knowing full well it could be worse than this
Allowing for the waves of inspired creation
To balance the fear of the well runnin' dry

My suffering is one little drop in the bucket
When I look around and see the world
I only have one shot so I'm gonna love it
No matter how it unfurls

I got used to how the river flowed
I got stuck in my ways
I got used to how the river flowed
But now the current knows its place

If you wanna fight the tide
Just keep your head down and go...
Cause your fight is different than mine
I could never begin to know
